hello, im 18 years old and ive had spots on my penis for a few years now. i have yellowish spots that are small in size and look a bit like spots which are normally on peoples faces around my penis and testicles and also i have a couple of small white spots forming on the head of my penis. im worried about what these are and i dont want to visit a doctor as i am embaressed about the situation, from what ive read spots around the penis are due to puberty and some oils in the skin. I wash everyday and i just hope that they will disapear soon, but i dont want to talk to anyone about it because im embarresed. anyone have any advice to offer?
thanks

Hey bro. Sounds like you've got the same thing as I had . It's called sebaceous prominence and I hate it just as much. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it, trust me, I've tried - even self-surgery NOT FUN! Have a look at the website www.sebaceous-prominence.com it'll give you the answers you're looking for - if it's what you have. I know it's incredibly hard to live with but somehow you gotta realize it's natural and there are plenty oaks in the same boat as you. If there is a safe skin treatment of some sort out there, I wouldn't mind trying it but don't try anything extreme - it'll make it worse (scarring etc)!

yeah this sebaceous thing sounds about right, it looks just like what ive got. im just more worried about the white spots beginning to form on the head of my penis and around where the bottom of my head is. they look a bit like white boils or something, and only in the past couple of weeks theres been a couple more very small ones forming. ive got a bird and shes never been freaked out by it or anything, but i feel insecure about it myself. im gunna read up on this on that websites forum, seems like its a pretty common thing, but its nothing i will ever discuss around anyone else i know i doubt. thanks for the advice!

yeah ive got those too, just not as bad as some of the pictures. as for these little white marks on the head of my penis, there a mystery to me, i cant seem 2 find any info on them, i will just keep puttin canesten on them and see what happens.

ya know what you can do if you don't want to go a doctor go to google.com and search for it and get pictures white spots on your penis could be early signs of herpes not saying that it is just search on the net for pictures like goole this "white spots on penis" ur sure to find something

holy crap! im 18 in 2 weeks and thats exactly what i have! ive had that for a few years now too! u can actualy feel how lumpy they are if u use ur finger tip, all over the base even the odd one gets halfway up the penis, and then on the actual penis tip on each side of the little line that joins the foreskin, there are about 5 tiny *white*white* spots,these are actualy white and they are extremely small?? is that right? cos if it is then i have it too, can anything be done about it?
